I'm going a bit crazy here -- for some reason I can't figure out how to turn on the file path field in the Finder application in OS X. Here is a picture of what I'm trying to find:

Desired Finder widget

Note that I'm possibly talking about two things: (1) the application called "Finder", and (2) the file selection window that lots of applications use, which presumably uses Finder under the hood.

How do I turn the file path bar on? I've looked through all the menu options and Googled. Is it called something else in OS X? Does it (dare I say it ...) not exist? (Presumably it does because it's far more essential than all the crap that I had to disable in the toolbar.)

In Finder

Go...Go to Folder

Shortcut: Command+Shift+G

In Save/Choose Dialogs:

Shortcut: Command+Shift+G or just type a forward slash

This will open the "go to folder" sheet what almost works like the windows path field.
